Ever wondered what that mysterious NFL Quarterback Rating really means? It's more than just a number; it's an attempt to quantify a quarterback's performance! Calculated using a complex formula considering completion percentage, touchdown percentage, interception percentage, and yards per attempt, it aims to provide a single, digestible score. A 'perfect' rating is 158.3.
But here's the catch: it's not a perfect system. Quarterback rating doesn't account for rushing ability, sacks taken, or dropped passes. A high rating might indicate efficiency, but it doesn't always tell the full story of a QB's impact on a game.
Think of it as a useful tool, but not the only tool. Use it to compare quarterbacks, but always consider the context and watch the games yourself. Is your favorite QB a rating superstar or an underrated field general? Let us know in the comments!
